Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Wars-Mo, despite being a new mobile suit design, features a head height of 18.5 meters. This is because during the Age of the Warring Space States, a larger mobile suit is seen as more powerful. Additionally, the perception of smaller-scale mobile suits has shifted; they are seen as high-tech and thus prone to failure due to a lack of parts and capable engineers. Its armor is also very thick, as the era's reliance on physical weaponry made thicker armor more desirable than mobility.
The Wars-Mo was marketed as a "Work" mobile suit, and thus it has no fixed armaments, except for forearm-mounted beam shields as they were seen as protective armaments rather than weapons. However, this equipment suggests that other beam armament can be equipped. The Gundam-type head mask seen on the unit piloted by Taganas is custom made, and was designed for intimidation purposes.
History
A mobile suit developed in the Jovian space colonies, the "W" in the model number stands for "Work".
The mobile suit was designed with exporting in mind, as the colonies sought to acquire funds. To avoid issues with transporting the mobile suit around the Earth Sphere, it is marketed as a "Work"-type mobile suit. In total 20 units were produced and sold in U.C. 0165 to clients in the Earth Sphere. One such unit appeared in U.C. 0168 piloted by Taganas.
